In UI Macro how to get fetch a value from url

kiranjyothi · ‎11-23-2015

Hi All,

Anybody has an idea on how to pull values from url into a UI macro.

We have a UI macro which downloads all attachments attached to that particular catalog item.

https://instance.com/com.glideapp.servicecatalog_cat_item_view.do?v=1&sysparm_id=ce5985866f3c4200a07...

from above url I want to fetch the sysparm_id value into a ui macro.

function popupDispAttachments() {

//var item_id = g_form.getParameter("sysparm_id");

//gs.addInfoMessage("sysparm id is": +item_id);

//Initialize the GlideDialogWindow

var attach_window = new GlideDialogWindow('display_attachment');

attach_window.setTitle('Download Attachment for New Catalog Item/Update Catalog Item');

attach_window.setPreference('table', 'sys_attachment_list');

attach_window.setPreference('sysparm_view', 'default');

//Set the table to display

//var num = g_form.getValue('number');

var item_id = getParmVal('sysparm_id');

var query1 = 'table_name=sc_cat_item';

attach_window.setPreference('sysparm_query', query1);

//Open the dialog window

attach_window.render();

function getParmVal(name) {

gs.log('Inside the UI Macro Download Attachment for Catalog Item');

var url = document.URL.parseQuery();

if (url[name]) {

return decodeURI(url[name]);

} else {

return;

}

Try below

var id = '${RP.getParameterValue('sysparm_id')}';

alert(id); // alert is giving the value of sysparm_id

attach_window.setPreference('sysparm_query', id);

And in the UI Page you can create the encoded query with sys_id.

Could you please paste the code of your UI macro, then i can have a look on it.

Sure Ashish.. Here is the code

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

<j:jelly trim="false" xmlns:j="jelly:core" xmlns:g="glide" xmlns:j2="null" xmlns:g2="null">

<html>

<g:evaluate object="true" var="jvar_uri" jelly="true" >

var uri = RP.getParameterValue('sysparm_id');

gs.log("inside macro " + uri);

</g:evaluate>

<button onclick="popupDispAttachments();"> Click Here to download the Attachment for New Catalog Item/Update Catalog Item</button>

function popupDispAttachments() {

//Initialize the GlideDialogWindow

var attach_window = new GlideDialogWindow('display_attachment');

attach_window.setTitle('Download Attachment for New Catalog Item/Update Catalog Item');

attach_window.setPreference('table', 'sys_attachment_list');

attach_window.setPreference('sysparm_view', 'default');

//Set the table to display

//var num = g_form.getValue('number');

//var item_id = RP.getParameterValue('sysparm_id');

var query1 = 'table_name=sc_cat_item^table_sys_id=' ;

attach_window.setPreference('sysparm_query', query1);

//Open the dialog window

attach_window.render();

}

</script>

</html>

</j:jelly>
